Acer glabrum - Douglas Maple

Market price from $27.99 to $41.99

Acer glabrum is the much-celebrated Douglas Maple – a compact, resilient member of the Sapindaceae family and a crown jewel of North American flora. This multi-stemmed petite beauty, maturing to a practical height of 20 feet, creates a striking visual tapestry with its three-to-five lobed green leaves that dramatically transition to a canopy of deep red or vibrant orange in the fall. In the spring, the Douglas Maple becomes a beacon for local fauna, bearing bright clusters of red flowers that evolve into interesting winged seeds by summer’s end. Well-suited to a spectrum of landscapes, from the heart of urban gardens to the edge of woodland retreats, this tree is delightfully low maintenance. It stands invincible against wind, and is versatile enough to flourish in variable soil conditions, from sunny open spaces to lightly shaded nooks. Adding to its appeal is its knack for attracting beneficial birds and insects, making the Douglas Maple more than just a sight to behold – it’s an ecological boon to your garden.
